  • Effective strategies to alleviate brain fog include establishing routines, taking breaks between tasks, and using calendars and reminders to reduce mental clutter.
  • Real stress management comes from a comprehensive lifestyle approach, including balanced nutrition, regular exercise, hydration, and relaxation techniques, rather than relying on trends like the cortisol cocktail.
